Neverness to Everness Fons Guide: Stop Being Broke in Hethereau
If you want to survive the economic grind of this city without losing your mind, you need to understand exactly how the money flows.
You log into Neverness to Everness and quickly realize that every single thing you want requires an absurd amount of cash. Whether you are trying to purchase new houses, manage the Cafe by Origen, or buy a vehicle that goes faster than a bicycle, you need Fons. If you take one look at the late game shop inventories, you will see that you need millions of this currency to get the good items. Relying on loose pocket change will get you absolutely nowhere. I spent a massive amount of time testing every single revenue stream in Hethereau to figure out what actually respects your time. Before you waste hours doing activities that pay pennies, you need to streamline your grind.
The Foundation of Your Bank Account
You cannot ignore the basic mechanics of the game if you want to build a solid financial foundation. The developers hand you a lot of cash early on, but you have to know where to look.
Pushing the Main Quests
It is an undoubted fact that one of the most consistent ways to get Fons is by simply playing the main storyline. If you open your quest menu, you will notice that nearly every single objective pays out. Some of the main quests throw over 80,000 Fons at you just for finishing them. You also get a massive chunk of Hunter EXP and upgrade materials alongside the cash.
As long as you have main or side quests sitting in your log, you have a guaranteed income stream. The obvious problem is that this money eventually dries up. There is a strict limit to how many quests you can complete before you run out and have to wait for the next major game update. You need a backup plan for when the story stops paying the bills.
Managing Your City Stamina
Neverness to Everness uses two completely different stamina systems. You have Character Pixels that regenerate every few minutes for your standard upgrades. Then you have City Stamina. This specific stamina regenerates once every single week. You use City Stamina to participate in various Hethereau Hobbies.
These hobbies include fishing, running taxi routes, completing delivery services, and playing a small restaurant management minigame. For all of these modes, the math is incredibly simple. You essentially consume one point of stamina for every 1,000 Fons that you earn. You can literally multiply your total City Stamina by a thousand to calculate your guaranteed weekly income. If you want to raise that ceiling, you need to focus on increasing your City Tycoon level to bump up your maximum stamina cap.
Building Passive Income
You should never rely entirely on manual labor to fund your account. Setting up passive income streams early will save you a massive headache down the road.
The Restaurant Hustle
Restaurant management is easily one of the most underrated methods to earn money in this game. When you first start running the kitchen, you will likely feel disappointed. You only pull in a few thousand Fons every day. I highly advise you to stick with it.
As you progress and unlock more complex recipes, your daily profits will absolutely skyrocket. During your early days of management, you should only restock your recipes for 24 hours at maximum. You will be swapping them out almost every single day as you unlock better options. By the third or fourth day of playing, you will easily start earning well over 10,000 Fons from this system daily. The absolute best part is that it generates this money passively without consuming any of your precious City Stamina.
The Big Payouts
When you need a massive injection of cash right now, you have to take on higher risk activities.
The Pink Paw Heist
Once you grind your way up to level ten on the City Tycoon track, you unlock the Pink Paw Heist. This mode drops you directly inside a bank where you can steal up to 1,000,000 Fons entirely for free. This activity does not cost a single drop of City Stamina.
You will not be able to clear the entire vault in a single run. You have to go in over and over again to extract the maximum amount of cash. Thankfully, there is no limit to how many times you can enter the heist. You also get to carry over your keycards and other important items between your runs. As soon as you hit Tycoon level ten, you need to grind this out immediately because the vault resets on specific weeks.
Swiping Your Credit Card
I do not recommend doing this unless you have disposable income burning a hole in your pocket. If you buy the Riftcrystal mining pass with real money, you get 30,000 Fons every single day when you log in. This stacks up to 900,000 Fons every month. There is also a direct pack you can buy that immediately dumps 1,000,000 Fons into your inventory. It gives you a massive early boost, but you can easily earn that same amount just by playing the game properly.
Hunting Down the Hidden Safes
If you want an immediate cash injection without spending real money, you need to go safe hunting. There are twelve specific safes scattered across the map that you can force open for massive rewards. I highly recommend clearing these out the moment you unlock the corresponding map areas.
The Soleil Road construction site is absolutely packed with cash, but it requires a bit of vertical platforming. If you miss the jump into the gap between the floors, you will have to ride the lift all the way back up and try again. As for the safes inside the Nameless Hospital, I frankly do not recommend going out of your way to find them unless you are already trying to clear all four endings for the Anomaly Commission. The maze layout will send you back to the lobby repeatedly if you lose your bearings. Stick to the overworld safes first to build your bankroll quickly.
